The Impositions shall be paid not later than the dates on which the particular Imposition would become delinquent and Borrower shall produce to Lender receipts of the imposing authority, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender, evidencing the payment of the Imposition in full. If Borrower and/or Operating Lessee as applicable elects by appropriate legal action to contest any Imposition, Borrower shall first deposit cash (or other security approved by Lender such as a bond or letter of credit) with Lender as a reserve in an amount which Lender determines is sufficient to pay the Imposition plus all fines, interest, penalties and costs which may become due pending the determination of the contest.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Lenders election to accelerate the Loan shall not be effective if (1) Borrower and/or Operating Lessee as applicable is permitted by law (including, without limitation, applicable interest rate laws) to, and actually does, pay the Imposition or the increased portion of the Imposition and (2) Borrower agrees in writing to pay or reimburse Lender in accordance with Section 11.6 for the payment of any such Imposition which becomes payable at any time when the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.5 ESCROW DEPOSITS.
(a) Without limiting the effect of Section 2.4 and Section 3.1, subject to (b) below, Borrower shall pay to Lender monthly on the same date the monthly installment is payable under the Note, an amount equal to 1/12th of the amounts Lender reasonably estimates are necessary to pay, on an annualized basis, (1) all Impositions and (2) the premiums for the insurance policies required under this Mortgage (collectively the Premiums) until such time as
8
Borrower has deposited an amount equal to the annual charges for these items and on demand, from time to time, shall pay to Lender any additional amounts necessary to pay the Premiums and Impositions. Borrower will furnish to Lender bills for Impositions and Premiums thirty (30) days before Impositions become delinquent and such Premiums become due for payment. No amounts paid as Impositions or Premiums shall be deemed to be trust funds and these funds may be commingled with the general funds of Lender provided that Lender shall pay Borrower interest on account of these funds. If an Event of Default occurs, Lender shall have the right, at its election, to apply any amounts held under this Section 2.5 in reduction of the Secured Indebtedness, or in payment of the Premiums or Impositions for which the amounts were deposited.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the insurance required to be maintained hereunder is provided under a blanket policy approved by Lender, or (ii) Borrower, Operating Lessee or Manager pay, reserve or set aside funds on a monthly basis in amounts sufficient to provide for the payment of all insurance premiums when due (and such funds need not be segregated or deposited into a specific fund or account), Lender agrees not to require these deposits unless and until (a) there has occurred an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, the Guaranty or the Indemnity Agreement, (b) Borrower, or a Permitted Transferee (as hereinafter defined in Section 10.4(d)), or an entity designated on Exhibit C (Pre-Approved Transferee), or, subject to Section 10.3(b), a Single Purpose Entity (as defined in Section 10.1) wholly owned by a Permitted Transferee or a Pre-Approved Transferee no longer owns the Property; (c) except for Permitted Interest Transfers, there has been a change in the general partners, stockholders or members of Borrower or in the constituent general partners or controlling shareholders or controlling members of any of the entities comprising Borrower; or (d) at any time Borrower fails to furnish to Lender, not later than fifteen (15) days after the dates on which any insurance premiums would become delinquent, receipts for the payment of such insurance premiums or appropriate proof of issuance of a new policy which continues in force the insurance coverage of the expiring policy. In the event any of these events described in clauses (a) through (d) occur Lender reserves the right to require insurance premiums deposits at any time in its absolute discretion notwithstanding the fact that the default may be cured, or that the transfer or change be approved by Lender.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Borrower Operating Lessee or Manager pay, reserve or set aside funds on a monthly basis in amounts sufficient to provide for the payment of all Impositions as and when due (which funds need not be segregated or deposited into a specific fund or account), Lender agrees not to require these deposits unless and until (a) there has occurred an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, the Guaranty or the Indemnity Agreement, (b) Borrower, or a Permitted Transferee, or a Pre-Approved Transferee no longer owns the Property; or (c) except for Permitted Interest Transfers, there has been a change in the general partners, stockholders or members of Borrower or in the constituent general partners or controlling shareholders or controlling members of any of the entities comprising Borrower.

Lender may issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement, including depositing the Loan Documents with a trust that may issue securities (the Securities); provided, however Lender shall retain its servicing rights in the event of an issuance of Securities (such issuance of Securities is referred to as a Securitization). Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Borrower thirty (30) days advance notice of any securitization. Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Securities (collectively, the Investor) or any Rating Agency rating such Securities and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Secured Indebtedness and to Borrower or any Liable Party and the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, any Liable Party or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable. Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable to maintain the confidentiality of any financial information with respect to Borrower and/or Liable Party which Borrower advises Lender is confidential and not publicly available at the time it is provided to Lender; provided however such obligation to maintain the confidentiality of such financial information with respect to Borrower, and/or Liable Party shall terminate if and when, through no fault of Lender, the information ceases to be confidential.
(b) Borrower and Liable Party will cooperate with Lender and the Rating Agencies in furnishing such information and providing such other assistance, reports and legal opinions as Lender may reasonably request in connection with any such transaction. In addition, Borrower acknowledges that Lender may release or disclose to potential purchasers or transferees of the Loan, or potential participants in the Loan, originals or copies of the Loan Documents, title information, engineering reports, financial statements, operating statements, appraisals, Leases, rent rolls, and all other materials, documents and information in Lenders possession or which Lender is entitled to receive under the Loan Documents, with respect to the Loan, Borrower, Liable Party or the Property. Borrower shall also furnish to such Investors or such prospective Investors or such Rating Agency any and all information concerning the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of Borrower or any Liable Party as may be requested by Lender, any Investor or any prospective Investor or any Rating Agency in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower and Operating Lessee will not in any event be required to incur, suffer or accept (except to a de minimis extent) (i) any lesser rights or greater obligations than as currently set forth in the Loan Documents and (ii) any expense or any liability in connection with such transfers described in this Section 12.1.

Upon notice to Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu of the original Note, a replacement note, identical in form and substance to the Note and dated as of the Execution Date. Upon the execution and delivery of the replacement note, all references in any of the Loan Documents to the Note shall refer to the replacement note.

Within ten (10) days after receipt of a written request by Lender, Borrower shall furnish an acknowledged written statement in form satisfactory to Lender (i) setting forth the amount of the Secured Indebtedness, (ii) stating either that no offsets or defenses exist against the Secured Indebtedness, or if any offsets or defenses are alleged to exist, their nature and extent, (iii) whether any default then exists under the Loan Documents, the Management Agreement or the Operating Lease or any event has occurred and is continuing, which, with the lapse of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute such a default, and (iv) any other matters as Lender may reasonably request. If Borrower does not furnish an estoppel certificate within the 10-day period, Borrower appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver the certificate on its behalf, which power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
Section 12.4 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Borrower shall, without expense to Lender execute, acknowledge and deliver all further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, deeds of trust, assignments, security agreements, and financing statements as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require, to assure, convey, assign, transfer and confirm unto Lender the Property and rights conveyed or assigned by this Mortgage or which Borrower may become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, or for filing, refiling, registering, reregistering, recording or rerecording this Mortgage. If Borrower fails to comply with the terms of this Section, Lender may, at Borrowers expense, perform Borrowers obligations for and in the name of Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to do so. The appointment of Lender as attorney-in-fact is coupled with an interest.

Section 13.3 CHARACTERIZATION OF PROPERTY. The grant of a security interest to Lender in this Mortgage shall not be construed to limit or impair the lien of this Mortgage or the rights of Lender with respect to any property which is real property or which the parties have agreed to treat as real property. To the fullest extent permitted by law, everything used in connection with the production of Rents and Profits is, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings, both legal and equitable, shall be regarded as real property, irrespective of whether or not the same is physically attached to the Land and/or Improvements.
Section 13.4 PROTECTION AGAINST PURCHASE MONEY SECURITY INTERESTS. It is understood and agreed that in order to protect Lender from the effect of U.C.C. Section 9313, as amended from time to time and as enacted in the State, in the event that Borrower and/or Operating Lessee as applicable intends to purchase any goods which may become fixtures attached to the Property, or any part of the Property, and such goods will be subject to a purchase money security interest held by a seller or any other party:
(a) Before executing any security agreement or other document evidencing or perfecting the security interest, Borrower and/or Operating Lessee as applicable shall obtain the prior written approval of Lender.

47
(b) Borrower shall pay all sums and perform all obligations secured by the security agreement. A default by Borrower under the security agreement shall constitute a default under this Mortgage.

(c) Lender shall have the right to acquire by assignment from the holder of the security interest for the Personal Property or fixtures, all contract rights, accounts receivable, negotiable or non-negotiable instruments, or other evidence of indebtedness and to enforce the security interest as assignee.
(d) The provisions of subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 13.4 shall not apply if the goods which may become fixtures are of at least equivalent value and quality as the Personal Property being replaced and if the lien is permitted by Section 10.7(vii) or if the rights of the party holding the security interest are expressly subordinated to the lien and security interest of this Mortgage in a manner satisfactory to Lender.
